Shibori Pin - Tsukidashi fiber Ana Lisa demonstrates hand-stitching methodsHow to attach tsukidashi pin to the shibori stand Made in Japan from rust resistant stainless steel, these blunt pointed pins are used for open wound binding shibori techniques. The pin enables fabrication of specific effects not possible with a shibori hook: tiny resist units, fine pleating, and evenly spaced binding threads. Use this with a shibori stand to create tsukidashi kanoko (spaced dots), rasen (spiral binding) and bai (shell binding)
